About the tour

Indulge in the combo tour that will invigorate your senses with the delectable essence of freshly crafted chocolate and coffee, setting the stage for an enchanting hike leading to the breathtaking La Fortuna Waterfall. This energizing escapade combines a rewarding workout as you traverse the cascading steps, leading you to the crystal-clear waters embraced by the verdant rainforest.

Depending on the season, you might even have the chance to harvest coffee beans.

Your expedition then moves to the splendid La Fortuna Waterfall, an over 200-foot cascade amidst a symphony of exotic birds and insects, with nearly 500 steps leading to its base. Although the descent can be physically demanding, well-crafted landings and handrails offer respite along the way, while the cool stream and boulders provide a serene resting spot.

This half-day excursion serves as a splendid introduction to Costa Rica's premier adventure destinations, led by your bilingual guide who shares fascinating insights about the area and its wildlife. For those eager to swim, come prepared with your swimsuit beneath your hiking attire; changing rooms are available at the falls' entrance.
